What is the purpose of this site?

This site was created to give me a space to talk about my most current art or craft creations and showcase my work and activities. It is also a place for me to express my love of art, photography, painting, crafts, gardening, writing, floral arranging, decorating, design, and collecting.

Who is Kyle?


I was educated and raised in the southern part of the United States and moved to New Hampshire about twenty years ago. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. The moment I moved to New Hampshire I felt I had found a lost part of myself. I'm proud to call it home. Though I love to travel to new places, having been to a third of the states in the union, to Canada, and to Mexico, I rarely choose to leave New England.

My husband and my chosen family are the most important things in my life. We chose to be in each others lives and to me that makes our connection truly special. They are my greatest source of enjoyment and inspiration. I consider our companion animals to be part of our family. They are such a joy; they make life very interesting. I can't imagine life without them. Right now we have two canine companions, one feline companion, and many aquatic companions. Eventually we may adopt more, you never know what twists life holds.

After many years of pursuing corporate careers, that lacked soul, I now focus my energies on doing the things I love. I concentrate my attention on painting, drawing, writing, blogging, gardening, and making Happiness Tree decor. I also enjoy reading, films, photography, crafts, floral arranging, decorating, and design. Our home was built in the 1870's and over the past decade my husband and I have been modernizing her, fixing her up, and generally making her beautiful. I am an avid walker/hiker and I've practiced yoga for about twenty years now. I am an active environmentalist, a secular humanist, an animal activist, and a vegetarian.

A Happiness Tree

A Happiness Tree
One just like my gramdmother used to make.
